My two puke senators went to Iraq....Guess what!
How fucking stupid do they think the American public is?
I'm certain this bullshit is going on all over our nation.

~snip~Tennessee Sens. Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker gave an upbeat report on progress in Iraq this morning after returning from a trip there late last night

During their 90-minute meeting with Petraeus and Crocker, the senators were told progress has been made in seven of the country's 18 provinces. ~snip

3. I'm always SOOO impressed with senators returning from Iraq.
"Well, I just got back from Iraq and I can verify personally how swell everything is there".

Gimme a freakin' break.

7. the front page headline...2 Tenn. senators see Iraq military gains
Page 4 - State senators say military strategy working

WHAT THEY FAIL TO POINT OUT IS THAT THERE IS NO MILITARY SOLUTION

6. Good, get a uniform on....
...pick up a rifle and walk point. Better yet, take a stroll with no security. Oh, what was that? You have other priorities? I thought so you fucking yellow-bellied cowards.

8. Strolling through Iraq must be like visiting Graceland
Those wacky conservatives must be tricking us with a devious plan. Many members of the ignorant wing (the largest wing) of the republican party have gone to Iraq and come home telling us how great things are going there. In fact, things are going so great that according to them we have to stay. Indefinitely. Those wacky tricksters.

10. Since it's going so well there...
I think anyone who supports this "war" (invasion), should go over there and bask in the glory. Perhaps they would enjoy the 130 degree temperatures. Also, their families should go with them, it sounds like a great holiday for these war mongers.

17. Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dumb
We have to have the two most worthless Senators in this country, and that's saying a lot. Not that Ford would have been much better, mind you, but Corker is worthless. Alexander even more so.

18. Well they have to start now if they are going to support a draft to continue the 'good progress' ...
Our top military brass have spoken out publicly stating we will run out of troops and be unable to sustain present operations by early spring. This has not happened before in recent history.

What does that tell you?

Combine that with the 'war czar' stating that we need to consider a draft, and that it has always been on the table.

Unless there are 'good senators and congressmen' out and about telling the 'good news' about progress in Iraq, there won't be any chance the public will support a draft. They are doing the job the WH assigned them.

19. They sent the wrong two, that's for sure
These two can't even put together coherent sentences, let alone try to sell this state the "good news" on Iraq. Even the die-hard Republicans have taken down their G.O.P. propaganda from their vehicles and distance themselves with the party. 2008 is going to be tough for the G.O.P. in Tennessee, mark it down now.
